They wouldn’t need to actually use a warrant most likely, but yes you’re right.
However If police needed my doorbell footage for some alleged crime I would give it to them.
In other news, I really hate the new Land Cruiser.
4 cylinder hybrid, 0-60 in 8 plus seconds! What a jokkkkkkkkke. And yes I will die on this hill, in 2024 there aren’t even words for how unacceptable that is.

Remember what I told you? That's the future of ICE, downsized, bastardized four cylinders. Add a turbo and a hybrid drivetrain, and you have an underperforming, underwhelming... you know what. Which is why I've hedged my bets elsewhere

An absolutely bulletproof 381 horsepower 5.7L or the mess under the hood of this that’s a dog compared to it. A 200 would leave this thing truck lengths behind.
To be fair it’s not all their fault. Regs regs regs. They’ll be rolled back. Bigger engines will be back. V8s included, already happening. This isn’t the powertrain that Toyota would have given us unchecked.

If it were slower than hell but returned 40mpg the powers that be would be happy at least.

I LOVE the new Land Cruiser, though I’d likely select the GX550. Our friends just bought a GX550 and it’s amazing!
No new cars in our immediate future, but the LC/GX is a real test for me!

Lol of course I remember. It was nothing I didn’t know, lol.

Emissions standards are only going to get stricter, save this page for the future. Run out and buy an M3 or M4 Comp while you can!

I’m very impressed with the color and trim she got. It’s definitely a nice truck.

Our Highlander Hybrid is great - 300+ horsepower, 28 mpg, seating for 7, and it’s paid for! But my wife looked at the new GX and loved them. All she needs to do is say the words… “I want one” and the Highlander is gone!

I'm just not a fan of 4 cylinders, can't do it. Last time I had a four cylinder was a rental Camry SE in 2022 when my Polestar was having a part changed, due to the parts shortages back then it was a 6 week wait, and it was not very pleasant driving that car. Just can't do four cylinders, call me spoiled

I just hope they get everything sorted out with the failures, I really do.

of course this is all being unfair because the actual land cruiser is still nice and this is the prado we're talking about

Understandable. I have been very anti-4 cylinder for years but have tried some of the new turbo ones recently and have really enjoyed them. For me, it’s just a number and as long as it performs well and is refined enough for the application, the number of cylinders is inconsequential to me. A HUGE change from my previous attitude on the matter!
